  • Booksellers, the First Amendment, and Controversial Texts
    January 2020 Tuesday Topic: Booksellers, The First Amendment, and Controversial Texts Welcome to Tuesday Topics, a monthly series covering topics with intellectual freedom implications for libraries of all types. Each message is prepared by a member of OLA's Intellectual Freedom Committee or a guest writer. Questions can be directed to the author of the topic or to the IFC Committee. Booksellers, the First Amendment, and Controversial Texts In the wake of the January 6th attack on the US Capitol, at least two booksellers have either elected to remove titles related to white supremacist violence from sale, or been pressed to do so by concerned citizens. Amazon.com has removed The Turner Diaries from its store, along with merchandise associated with the group QAnon, citing violation of its terms of service. The Turner Diaries, which was published in 1978 by William Luther Pierce under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald, depicts a fictional coup in the US conducted by an underground group of white supremacists. It has been cited as a foundational text by modern racist and white nationalist groups, most famously in relation to the 1995 bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City. The availability of Andy Ngo’s forthcoming book, Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy, on the Powell’s Books website was the subject of protests in Portland during the week following the Capitol attack, as well. Powell’s has chosen to continue to sell the book through its online store, but will not carry physical copies of the books on its shelves. In an open letter published on the Powell’s website, President and owner Emily Powell cited the bookstore’s continued support of freedom of speech and public discourse in the decision to retain the title.

  • By Emily Shelly Won Second Prize in the University of Pittsburgh’S 2008-09 Composition Program Writing Contest
    Page | 1 The Journalist September 21, 1874 – 6th Year of Meiji Some time ago, I undertook to write a comprehensive article on the life of Hijikata Toshizo for my newspaper, the Hotaru Shinbun.1 In December, the paper will be printing an expose on the life of Katsu Kaishu,2 a hero of the Meiji Restoration that put the emperor back into power.3 My editor suggested that I write a piece on Hijikata, another supporter of the shogun, to offset it. Hijikata I consider to be the worst of traitors, but the Katsu story had been given to someone else, and as usual, I was stuck with the less glamorous assignment. Nevertheless, if it’s good enough maybe I’ll have a shot at the government correspondent position that just opened up. In this journal I will record the results of my interviews with Katsura Kogoro, Nagakura Shinpachi and one other anonymous source. Luckily, the first person I asked to interview, Katsura Kogoro,4 one of the “Three Great Nobles of the Restoration,”5 agreed to sit down with me and chat over tea about the chaotic years in Kyoto before the Restoration. I counted myself highly privileged. I had to use every connection in my arsenal to finally get permission to interview him. 1 The newspaper that published Nagakura Shinpachi’s oral memoirs of the Shinsengumi. The reporter is fictional, though. 2 Commissioner of the Tokugawa navy. He was a pacifist and considered an expert on Western things. He negotiated the surrender of Edo castle to the Imperial forces in 1867, saving Edo from being swallowed up by war.

  • White Lies: the Empty Signifier in White Supremacy and the Alt.Right
    Chris Knight WHITE LIES: THE EMPTY SIGNIFIER IN WHITE SUPREMACY AND THE ALT.RIGHT The Phenomenology of Whiteness: A Genealogy e begin in darkness. The narrative of whiteness begins in a void, an Wabsence, and myth. In many creation myths, including Genesis and Hesiod’s Theogony, order is wrested from undifferentiated chaos and dark- ness, and order is imposed by a divine enlightenment, a god/monarch who creates light by fiat. “In the beginning . the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep.” And by creating light, the god/monarch gives meaning and hierarchy to the world. Whiteness, when it is used to describe skin color, emerges in the language from the Dark Ages and from a multiplicity of ethnicities. A “white race” emerges into a proto- enlightenment and a proto-capitalism and into the uses of pigment. One way to deconstruct the notion of white supremacy is to parse the signification of the word “white.” In order to interrogate the politics of melanin we must confront what James Baldwin called “the lie that is whiteness.” We need to situate this signifier, this whiteness, in myth, ontology, aesthetics, metaphor, and ideology. In a more mundane physical description, white enters the world as light which is parsed by a prism that fractures white light into a spectrum – the colors of the rainbow. Each color of the spectrum vibrates on a different wavelength from infrared to ultraviolet. White and black have no wavelength. White contains and reflects all the colors; black absorbs all light and color.

  • Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center Before the Armed Services Committee United States House of Representatives
    Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center before the Armed Services Committee United States House of Representatives Extremism in the Armed Forces March 24, 2021 My name is Lecia Brooks. I am chief of staff of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Thank you for the opportunity to present testimony on extremism in the U.S. Armed Forces and what we can do to address this challenge. Now in our 50th year, the SPLC is a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people. SPLC lawyers have worked to shut down some of the nation’s most violent white supremacist groups by winning crushing, multimillion-dollar jury verdicts on behalf of their victims. We have helped dismantle vestiges of Jim Crow, reformed juvenile justice practices, shattered barriers to equality for women, children, the LGBTQ+ community, and the disabled, and worked to protect low-wage immigrant workers from exploitation. The SPLC began tracking white supremacist activity in the 1980s, during a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and other organized extremist hate groups. Today, the SPLC is the premier U.S. nonprofit organization monitoring the activities of domestic hate groups and other extremists. Each year since 1990, we have conducted a census of hate groups operating across America, a list that is used extensively by journalists, law enforcement agencies, and scholars, among others. The SPLC Action Fund is dedicated to fighting for racial justice alongside impacted communities in pursuit of equity and opportunity for all.

  • Racism's Occlusion from the Anti-Tom Novel to Charlottesville
    “A Single White Line Running Through a Web of Blackness”: Racism’s Occlusion from the Anti-Tom Novel to Charlottesville by © David Mitterauer submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the English Department Memorial University of Newfoundland August 2019 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Snowflake in the diving glow Contemplating the waves over the ground A grimace of fear and awe Spreading in the crowd around Amazing, unearthly The figure’s face on the temple is me –“Veridical Paradox,” Delusion Squared i Abstract This MA thesis discusses how romance as a literary form makes the Anti-Tom novel a malleable rhetorical vehicle to carry white supremacist ideology. Drawing on an interdisciplinary framework of postcolonial theory and race studies, the thesis analyzes antebellum Anti-Tom novels (Sarah J. Hale’s Liberia [1853]; Caroline Lee Hentz’s The Planter’s Northern Bride [1854]; and Charles Jacobs Peterson’s The Cabin and Parlor [1852]) and expands the genre’s definition to include Thomas Dixon’s The Leopard’s Spots (1902) and contemporary white-supremacist science fictions (William Luther Pierce’s The Turner Diaries [1978]; Ellen Williams’ Bedford: A World Vision [2000]; and Ward Kendall’s Hold Back This Day [2001]). The primary concerns of this thesis are to understand how the American slaveholding past signifies in the present political moment, to understand why the removal of the General Robert E. Lee statue catalyzed the violent riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, and to understand the affective preconditions Donald J.
